Day 1: Very first anime



Star Blazers!

Sue me, I was like twelve, ok?? I find it unwatchable now, but I used to get up at 6:30 in the morning for it then. The eyes! The unrealistic body proportions! The melodrama!

Properly speaking, I suppose I should call it the first anime I recognized as anime, since I was hooked on Speed Racer at age 6, but had no idea that wasn't American. This I knew was something different from the usual Saturday morning cartoons.

I would count Robotech, but by the time I saw it (on San Jose public TV, of all places, when I lived in CA), I knew Robotech was Japanese.

I'm so glad you linked to your 13-year-old exposure show. I've never heard of that. How many of those robot shows were there in the 80s?? (I love the idea of the file folder with Mount Takumashiku in it, never let them throw that out!)
